Actor Bradley Cooper has fully transformed into legendary composer Leonard Bernstein in the upcoming Netflix movie "Maestro." Cooper not only stars in the film but also directs, produces, and co-writes it, making him a quadruple threat for award recognition. The first teaser trailer for "Maestro" was released, showcasing the decades-long relationship between Bernstein and his wife Felicia Montealegre Cohn Bernstein, played by Carey Mulligan.

The film's official synopsis describes "Maestro" as a towering and fearless love story that explores the lifelong relationship between Bernstein and Cohn Bernstein. The trailer features black and white scenes filmed at Tanglewood, the Western Massachusetts music venue where Bernstein studied and returned to teach for five decades.

Interestingly, Mulligan receives top billing in the film's poster, suggesting the significant role she plays in Bernstein's life. The trailer also hints at Bernstein's multiple affairs and his speculation about living as an openly gay man.

Bradley Cooper's extensive Oscar history includes nine nominations but zero wins. With "Maestro," he has the opportunity to add to his nominations tally and potentially secure his first Oscar win. The film is already generating buzz, and Cooper's transformative performance as Bernstein could be his ticket to Academy Awards success.

"Maestro" is set to be released on Netflix, and fans eagerly anticipate seeing whether Bradley Cooper will finally win an Oscar for his portrayal of Leonard Bernstein.
